15.1.4 The Impact of Aggregate Demand Policies
Equations (15.8) and (15.11) and figure 15.3 can be used to analyze economic fluctuations and the impact of macroeconomic policy on both output (employment) and the price level in the standard Keynesian model. 12 First, for given nominal wages, an economy can be trapped in a short-run equilibrium with high unemployment. Suppose that the entire workforce is equal to N. From the production function (15.10) , full employment output and income is given by 13 Consider figure 15.4 . The original equilibrium is at full employment output. A negative disturbance in aggregate demand shifts the aggregate demand curve AD to the left. In the new short-run equilibrium E 1 , income and employment decline, and the price level falls. Because of the rigidity of nominal wages, the economy moves to an equilibrium with lower real output and employment and positive unemployment. Figure 15.4 Aggregate demand disturbances and their effects on aggregate output and the price level. If nominal wages were not fixed in the short run and adjusted to achieve full employment, the aggregate supply function would be perpendicular to the level of full employment, and changes in aggregate demand would only result in changes in the price level. Consequently, with full flexibility of wages and prices, this model has the same properties as a classical model. 14 This model can also be used to address the effects of disturbances to aggregate supply. Consider figure 15.5 . The original equilibrium is at full employment output. A negative disturbance in aggregate supply, such as a negative productivity shock, shifts the aggregate supply curve AS to the left. In the new short-run equilibrium, income and employment declines, and the price level rises. Because of the rigidity of nominal wages, the economy moves to an equilibrium with lower real output and employment, a higher price level, and positive unemployment. 15 |
